LOWER SNAKE RIVER COMPENSATION PLAN MAINTENANCE, IMPROVEMENTS, AND EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT

FACILITIES  LSRCP owns and administers fish rearing programs at 26 facilities scattered across Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.  Replacement value of these facilities is approaching $500,000,000  Operational equipment and vehicles have a replacement value of nearly $30,000,000

AGING FACILITIES  Construction of LSRCP facilities began in 1980 with McCall FH and South Fork Salmon River Satellite, and concluded with completion of the Fall Chinook Acclimation facilities (Pittsburgh Landing, Big Canyon – Idaho, and Captain John’s Rapids) in the mid 90’s.  Some facilities are approaching 40 years old; maintenance needs are increasing.

FUNDING  Currently, LSRCP is able to budget approximately $5.0M to $5.5M annually to address facility maintenance, improvements, including compliance improvements, and equipment replacement.  As facilities age, maintenance and equipment replacement needs will continue to grow.

5 – YEAR PLAN  We maintain a 5-year plan to address maintenance, improvements, and equipment replacement at all LSRCP facilities.  This is a good planning tool to identify and prioritize projects.  Size of the LSRCP program allows enough flexibility to address emergencies that arise without significant impact to the program, in most cases.  The 5-year planning process has to remain fluid.

COMPLIANCE EVALUATION  In FY2017 contractors completed evaluations at most LSRCP facilities to determine if facilities met current NOAA Fisheries and / or State standards for Fish Screens, Fish Ladders and Traps, and Fish Weirs.  In FY2018, LSRCP initiated design efforts for improvements to bring many facilities into compliance.  Construction to begin upon completion of design and permitting; based on priority and funding availability.  LSRCP facility compliance will take many years.
